I love being a star more than life itself.

I got treated very badly in Texas. They don't treat beatniks too good in Texas. Port Arthur people thought I was a beatnik, though they'd never seen one and neither had I.

You can't stay in your home town and play because the two people will get tired of seeing you.

When I sing, I feel like when you're first in love. It's more than sex. It's that point two people can get to they call love, when you really touch someone for the first time, but it's gigantic, multiplied by the whole audience. I feel chills.

You can destroy your now by worrying about tomorrow.

I just want to feel as much as I can, it's what soul is all about.

I'm one of those regular weird people.
